Hello fellow Europeans!

I have already swapped like 95% of all of my american applications to European alternstives (all besides YouTube). However, I have a question…: What the heck is happening on Mastodon?

a) there are a few people there (even in comparison to Lemmy it is just microscopic

b) seems like Mastodon has never seen Any moderation: even though I followed politics-related people/organisations, Mastodon was, almost, bombarding me with unmarked and VERY unwanted NSFW content. Why?

So the question is: how to deal with Mastodon? Is it only me? It would be very nice to get back there and make theiving conversations and threads like here on Lemmy.

Curious myself.

I've done reddit and Twitter, going for lemmy and bluesky.

Currently working on removing all my META connections so i can nuke that account to, and mastodon and pixelfy will surely follow.

For messaging i'm probably going for signal, being a long time user i'm probably just going to take a stand on whatsapp, if people want to message me, either move to signal or use SMS.

Use Threema. It is a safer option. And it it European. 5€ is the price of freedom here. It is less than one good chockolade!

The problem with the messaging apps is adoption as far as i can tell, and it'll be a cold day in hell before you can get someone to change from a free, easy to get option to something paid.

I will look into it though, as i am looking for a substitute on android for the normal SMS/messaging app, maybe threema has the desired functions.
